How to Become a VoIP Reseller
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) 
is already taking over the telephone service industry, leading traditional telephone lines to become obsolete. For those entrepreneurs that are wanting to get involved in this booming business and are interested in either building their own platform or learning how to become a VoIP reseller, there are a few things you should know first before diving headfirst.
A popular way someone starts up their own VoIP platform
– They use open-source Asterisk or use 3CX IP PBX software (asterisk like licensed software you purchase yearly)
– Install an instance of the software on a Virtual Private Server for each customer they bring on. Typically, on a data center
– Create a relationship with a SIP trunk/DID provider so that they can port and get new numbers for their customers. Also terminate traffic so their customers can call out, provide Caller ID NAME, 911 services.
– Add 3rd party modules to Asterisk and 3CX so they can have additional features
– Obtain a billing software service or software so their customers can be billed
– Obtain a Taxation solution so their customers can be taxed correctly for all related local, country, state, FCC and regulatory. This usually requires and API to a major taxation partner like Suretax or Avalara
– Provide a type of wrap around software to manage all individual instances of the IP PBX
